Now this may be a crazy thought, but I think it would be a nice wrinkle to put both Lamar and Jawon out there in the backfield in some packages. We need our best athletes in the backfield, and we are fresh out of power 5 caliber running backs. I think a few packages a game with both of these guys back there or maybe rotating treveon in there as well could help keep a running game going.
Solutions to lack of RBs
- Thread starter Cardinal Cash
- Start date
A crying shame this has to be discussed as an option.
Anything besides bonnafon. I hate to say that cause reggie is a good kid. But not acc caliber anything. His best bet is to stay wr. I hate seeing him line up in the backfield...
I would also be in favor of giving that combo a try, with Pass at QB and LJ at receiver...although I am very much aware that we won't be placing our future pro and Heisman winner in harm's way as a WR, except for an occasional trick play. And those weak attempts in which Bonnafon has taken the pitch in an attempt to throw downfield have been poorly designed, with him going to his left and trying to throw back to his right. Not an ideal set up for any QB.
I don't see WRs getting hurt anymore than running QBs.
I'd isolate LJ on a LB and get him the ball in the open field.
A couple of those and the WRs will be wide open.
True. He would probably take less hits as a WR than he is now as a running QB.
We have two QBs on the depth chart, so let's put him both in the game at the same time.

Just trying to get creative here. Lamar would be our best running back at the current time. He already runs anyway. It would be a pretty good set up where either of them could throw.
Like I said, we have two QBs.
